Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon reportedly kill at least 11
Lebanon’s state news agency said two children and two medics were among those killed, despite a June ceasefire intended to halt fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israeli strikes on a town in southern Lebanon early on Monday reportedly killed at least 11 people, including two children and two medics, according to Lebanon’s state news agency.
The reported deaths came despite a US-brokered ceasefire reached in June between Israel and Lebanon. The agreement was intended to halt fighting between the Israeli military and Hezbollah.
France 24 International reported that Israel had intensified its bombardment of southern Lebanon in recent days. The available account did not include Israel’s explanation for the operation or independently verify the casualty figures.
The reported toll follows separate Israeli raids in Lebanon on Sunday that were said to have killed seven people. It remains unclear whether those deaths overlap with the latest figures.
The death toll, reported as at least 11, may change as recovery efforts continue. The primary account identified the area as southern Lebanon but did not name the town.
